ARTICLE VII

Conversion

Section 7.01 Conversion.

(a) Right to Convert. IFC may at its option convert a minimum of $1,000,000 or its integral multiple of IFC C Loan in whole or in part, at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of the first Disbursement of the IFC C Loan, into Class A Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, subject to registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

(b) Exercise of Conversion Right: Issuance of ADSs on Conversion.

(i) The right of conversion attaching to the IFC C Loan may be exercised by delivery of a duly signed and completed Conversion Notice, in the form as set forth as Schedule 5 (Form of Conversion Notice) (a “Conversion Notice”), which Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of the IFC C Loan to be converted (the “Convertible Portion”) and the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificates or certificates for shares of ADSs which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. The date on which IFC satisfies all of the requirements in the immediately preceding sentence for any Convertible Portion, is the “Conversion Date”. The Borrower shall deliver to IFC certificates, each registered in the name or names as specified by IFC as described above, for the full number of whole shares of ADSs issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan in accordance with Section 7.01 (a) plus a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of ADSs arising upon such conversion, calculated by the Borrower as provided in Section 7.01(c) below no later than 3 Business Days following the relevant Conversion Date. All such shares shall be fully paid, duly authorized and validly issued and non-assessable and free from any Liens or encumbrances. The Borrower agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary to consummate and make effective the conversion contemplated by this Section 7.01.

(ii) The Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Conversion Date and the Person in whose name any ADSs shall be issuable upon such conversion are registered shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the ADSs.

(iii) The delivery by the Borrower to IFC of the number of shares of ADSs, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares, with respect to the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan surrendered for conversion, shall be deemed to satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal amount of such Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan only, and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date through the Conversion Date shall be payable on the next Interest Payment Date In accordance with Section 2.03 (Interest).

(c) Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of ADSs or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the IFC C Loan. The number of full shares of ADSs that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan surrendered for conversion on any Conversion Date. If any fractional shares of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan, the Borrower shall make an adjustment and payment therefore in cash to IFC at the current market price thereof to IFC. The current market price of a share of ADSs shall be the Closing Sale Price on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date for such Convertible Portion.

(d) Conversion Rate. Each $1,000 principal amount of the IFC C Loan shall be convertible into ADSs based upon the Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 7.01.

(e) Adjustments to Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Borrower as follows:

(i) Dividend or Distribution. In case the Borrower shall issue Ordinary Shares as a dividend or distribution to holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, or shall effect a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR(0) x OS’

OS(0)

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately after the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

OS(0) = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be; and

OS’ = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution or immediately after the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex Date fixed for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 7.01 (e) (i) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding Ordinary Shares are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or split or combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared.

(ii) Rights or Warrants. In case the Borrower shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Ordinary Shares rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after the record date for such distribution) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at a price per share less than the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR(0) x OS(0) + X

OS(0) + Y

where,

CR(O) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such distribution;

OS(0) = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such distribution;

X = the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable (directly or in the form of ADSs) pursuant to such rights or warrants; and

Y = the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of each of the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for such distribution. The Borrower shall not issue any such rights or warrants in respect of Ordinary Shares held in treasury by the Borrower. To the extent that Ordinary Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered (directly or in the form of ADSs). If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex Date for such distribution had not been fixed.

In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at less than such Closing Sale Price (as divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS), and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Borrower for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(iii) Distributed Property. In case the Borrower shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares of any class of Share Capital of the Borrower (other than Ordinary Shares as covered by Section 7.01(e)(i), evidences, of its Financial Debt or other assets or property of the Borrower (including securities, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by Sections 7.01 (e) (ii) or 7.01 (e) (iv) and distributions described below in this subsection (iii) with respect to Spin-Offs) (any of such shares of Share Capital, Financial Debt, or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 7.01 (e) (iii) called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR(0) x SP(0)

SP(0)-FMV

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such distribution;

SP(0) = the average of each of the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors of the shares of Share Capital, evidences of Financial Debt, or other assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding Ordinary Share on the Ex Date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex Date for such distribution; provided that if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP(0)” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that 1FC shall have the right to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Portion of the 1FC C Loan, the amount of Distributed Property IFC would have received had IFC owned a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such distribution multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS, without being required to convert the Loan. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 7.01 (e) (iii) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Sale Prices of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.01(e) (iii) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Ordinary Shares in shares of any class or series, or similar equity Interest, in the Share Capital of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR(0) x FMV(0) + MP(0)

MP(0)

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the 10th Trading Day immediately following the effective date of the Spin-Off;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the 10th Trading Day immediately following the effective date of the Spin-Off;

FMV(0) = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares applicable to one Ordinary Share over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

MP(0) = the average of each of the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS on such Trading Day over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and Including, the effective date of the Spin-Off.

Such adjustment shall occur on the 10th Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of any Spin-Off, references with respect to the Spin-Off to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Borrower to all holders of Ordinary Shares, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase ADSs or shares of the Borrower’s Share Capital, including Ordinary Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”); (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Ordinary Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 7.01 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7.01 shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 7.01 (e) (iii). If any such rights or warrants are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Financial Debt or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7.01 (e) was made, (A) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Ordinary Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (B) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of this Section 7.01 (e) (iii) and Sections 7.01 (e) (i) and 7.01 (e) (ii) any dividend or distribution to which this Section 7.01 (e) (iii) is applicable that also includes Ordinary Shares to which Section 7.01 (e) (i) applies or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) to which Sections 7.01 (e) (i) or 7.01 (e) (ii) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (A) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of Financial Debt, assets or shares of capital stock other than such Ordinary Shares or rights or warrants, to which this Section 7.01 (e) (iii) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 7.01 (e) (iii) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (B) a dividend or distribution of such Ordinary Shares or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Sections 7.01 (e) (i) and 7.01 (e) (ii) hereof with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution shall under this Section 7.01 (e) (iii) be substituted as “the Ex Date” within the meaning of Sections 7.01 (e) (i) and Section 7.01 (e)(ii) and any Ordinary Shares included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately prior to the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 7.01 (e) (i) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 7.01(e) (ii).

(iv) Cash Distribution. In case the Borrower shall pay dividends or make distributions consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of its Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR(0) x	SP(0)
		SP(0) – C

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex Date for such distribution;

SP(0) = the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and

C =the amount in cash per share distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares in such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Opening of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one Ordinary Share is equal to or greater than SP(0) as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that IFC shall receive on the date on which such cash dividend is distributed to holders of Ordinary Shares, for each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Portion of the Loan, the amount of cash 1FC would have received had IFC owned a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex Date for such distribution multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS, without being required to convert the Convertible Portion of the Loan. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 7.01 (e) (iv), in the event of any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, as a result of which the ADSs represent more than one class of Ordinary Shares, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 7.01 (e) (iv), references in this Section 7.01 to one Ordinary Share or the Closing Sale Price of one ADS (as divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS) shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Ordinary Shares equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one Ordinary Share in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.

(v) Tender Offer or Exchange Offer. In case the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Ordinary Shares, or ADSs representing Ordinary Shares, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Ordinary Share, or equivalent payment per Ordinary Share then represented by such ADSs, exceeds the Closing Sale Price Of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR(0) x	AC + (SP’ x OS’)
		OS(0) x SP’

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect on the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect on the day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration as determined by the Board of Directors paid or payable for the Ordinary Shares purchased (directly or in the form of ADSs) in such tender or exchange offer;

OS(0) = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

OS’ = the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and

SP’ = the Closing Sale Price of the ADSs divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after close of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires. If the Borrower or its Subsidiary is obligated to purchase Ordinary Shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Borrower or its Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all or any such purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected.

No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made if the application of any of the foregoing formulas (other than in connection with a share combination) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate.

For purposes of this Section 7.01 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Ordinary Shares (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

The term “Ex Date,” (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the ADSs trades the regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from Which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii) when used with respect to any share split or combination of shares of Ordinary Shares, means the first date on which the ADSs trades the regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such share split or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender offer or exchange offer means the first date on which the ADSs trades the regular way on such exchange or in such market after the expiration time of such tender offer or exchange offer (as it may be amended or extended).

(vi) In addition to those required by Sections 7.01 (e)(i) through Section 7.01 (e)(v), and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, the Borrower from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 calendar days or any longer period permitted by law if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Borrower’s best interest. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall deliver to IFC a notice of the increase at least 15 calendar days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect. In addition, the Borrower may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any Tax to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.

(vii) Without limiting the foregoing, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made:

(A) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to any future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Borrower and the investment of additional optional amounts in Ordinary Shares under any plan;

(B) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares, or any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security to purchase Ordinary Shares, pursuant to any future agreements entered into with the Borrower’s suppliers of raw materials or machinery as consideration or inducement to enter into such supply agreement, provided that such supply agreement is entered into on arm’s length terms;

(C) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or options or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (after the exercise of which, the aggregate number of the issued Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to such plans or programs does not exceed 15% of the issued Share Capital of the Borrower throughout the term of the Loans);

(D) upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (C) above and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement;

(E) for a change in the par value of the Ordinary Shares; or

(F) for accrued and unpaid interest.

(viii) No adjustment shall be made for the Borrower’s issuance of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) or convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 7.01.

(ix) In any case in which this Section 7.01 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (1) the Ex Date for an event or (2) the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 7.01 (e) (v) (each an “Adjustment Determination Date”), the Borrower may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to IFC with respect to any Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan converted after such Adjustment Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional ADSs or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the amounts deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to IFC any amount in cash In lieu of any fractional ADS pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof. For purposes of this subsection (i), the term “Adjustment Event” shall mean: (A) in any case referred to in clause (I) hereof, the date any dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), shares of Share Capital, evidences of Financial Debt, other assets or property or cash is paid or made, the effective date of any share split or combination or the date of expiration of any rights or warrants, and (B) in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.

(x) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Rate below the then par value, if any, of the Ordinary Shares multiplied by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS, the Borrower shall take all corporate action which it reasonably determines may be necessary in order that the Borrower may validly and legally issue Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Portion at such adjusted Conversion Rate. The Borrower covenants that all Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Portion shall be fully paid and non-assessable by the Borrower and free from all Taxes, Liens and changes with respect to the issue thereof.

(xi) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such rate; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 7.01 (e) (xi) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and the Borrower shall make such carry forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (x) annually on the anniversary of the Closing Date and otherwise (y) 5 Business Days prior to the maturity of the IFC C Loan. All calculations under this Section 7.01 (Conversion) shall be made by the Borrower and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest I/1,000,000 of an ADS, as the case may be.

(xii) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Borrower shall send to IFC an Officers’ Certificate, as promptly as possible and in any event within 10 Business Days after such adjustment, setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the date on which such adjustment becomes effective. Unless and until IFC shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, IFC shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume that the last Conversion Rate of which it has actual knowledge is still in effect. Failure to deliver such Officer’s Certificate shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(f) Other Adjustments.

(i) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 7.01(e) hereof, IFC may become entitled to receive any shares or securities other than ADSs, or if the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs become converted, exchanged, reclassified or otherwise changed into other shares or securities, thereafter the Conversion Rate of such other shares so receivable upon Conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to ADSs (taking into account the number of Class A Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS immediately prior to such adjustment of the Conversion Rate or such change in the ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares, as the case may be) contained in this Article VII (Conversion).

(ii) In the event that the facility for the ADSs maintained with the ADS depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement is terminated for any reason, but such event does not constitute a Termination of Trading because the Class A Ordinary Shares are then listed for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange, all references herein to the “ADSs” and the “Closing Sale Price” will be deemed to refer to the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and the “Closing Sale Price” of the Class A Ordinary Shares, respectively, and other appropriate adjustments will be made to the provisions hereunder to reflect such change.

(iii) In the event that the facility for the ADSs maintained with the ADS Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement is terminated for any reason (whether or not such event constitutes a Termination of Trading), IFC’s right to convert the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan into ADSs under this Article VII (Conversion), shall become a right to convert the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan into Class A Ordinary Shares at a Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Article VII (Conversion), equal to (A) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares represented by each ADS immediately prior to such termination, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Rate applicable immediately prior to such termination, multiplied by (C) the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan being converted divided by 1,000.

(g) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Except as prohibited by law the Borrower may (but is not obligated to) make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 7.01 hereof, as it determines to be advisable in order that any share dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase shares or securities or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares made by the Borrower or to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs will not be taxable to the recipients thereof or in order to diminish any such taxation.

(h) Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the following events occur, namely:

(i) any reclassification or change in the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of Class A Ordinary Shares);

(ii) any consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such to which the Borrower is a party, other than a merger in which the Borrower is the continuing Person and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, the Class A Ordinary Shares; or

(iii) any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Borrower or those of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any other Person or Persons;

in each case, pursuant to which the Class A Ordinary Shares would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, then the Borrower or such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to IFC an amendment to this IFC C Loan in form reasonably satisfactory to IFC providing that, at and after the effective time of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, IFC shall have the right to convert the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, “Reference Property”) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction. amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition by a holder of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares then represented by each ADS, and (B) a fraction whose denominator is 1,000 and whose numerator is the product of the principal amount of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition. If holders of Class A Ordinary Shares shall have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to receive pursuant to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, then the Borrower shall make adequate provision to give IFC a reasonable opportunity to elect the form of such consideration for purposes of determining the composition of the Reference Property referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. The amendment referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Section 7.01. The foregoing, however, shall not in any way affect the right IFC may otherwise have, pursuant to Section 7.01 (e), to receive rights or warrants upon conversion. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the cash, securities or other and property receivable thereupon by a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares includes cash, securities or other property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, then such amendment shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of IFC as the Board of Directors in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution). The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or successive sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.

In the event the Borrower shall execute an amendment pursuant to this sub-section (h), the Borrower shall promptly deliver to IFC an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by IFC upon the conversion after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reconstruction, amalgamation or other similar arrangement, or such sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

(i) Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of ADS or share certificates upon conversions of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan shall be made without charge to IFC for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer Tax or duty in respect of the issue thereof.

(j) Reservation of Shares: shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of ADSs.

(i) The Borrower shall at all times maintain enough, out of its authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares, Class A Ordinary Shares to permit the issuance of ADSs upon conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan, from time to time as Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan is presented for conversion.

(ii) The Borrower covenants that all Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, which may be issued upon conversion of the IFC C Loan, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of pre-emptive or similar rights and free from all Taxes, Liens and charges or adverse claims with respect to the issue thereof.

(iii) The Borrower covenants that, if any shares of ADSs to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such ADSs may be validly issued upon conversion, the Borrower will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the SEC, endeavour to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(iv) The Borrower covenants that it shall take all such actions and obtain all such approvals and registrations required for the payment in accordance herewith of ADSs deliverable upon the conversion of the IFC C Loan, including issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, the deposit thereof in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, the acceptance of such ADSs into the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary and the listing of such ADSs on each national securities exchange on which the ADSs are then listed.

(v) The Borrower covenants that it shall maintain, as long as any principal amount of the IFC C Loan is outstanding, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the ADSs and an adequate number of ADSs available for issuance thereunder such that freely traceable ADSs can be delivered in accordance herewith upon conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Borrower shall also comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of ADSs upon the conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan.

(k) Notice to IFC Prior to Certain Action, In the event that:

(i) the Borrower takes any action, or becomes aware of any event, which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate;

(ii) there is any reclassification or reorganization of the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Borrower, or of any consolidation or merger to which the Borrower is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Borrower is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower; or

(iii) there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Borrower,

the Borrower shall mail a notice to IFC, at least 30 scheduled Trading Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, stating (A) the proposed Conversion Date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action or event, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(l) IFC C Loan deemed to be Prepaid. Subject to the conversion pursuant to Section 7.01 (a), the IFC C Loan shall be deemed to be prepaid by the amount of the Convertible Portion on the Conversion Date. All the outstanding instalments of principal of the IFC C Loan shall be reduced accordingly in inverse order of maturity.

(m) IFC Policy Rights Agreement. Promptly following any conversion, each of the Borrower and IFC shall enter into an IFC Policy Rights Agreement incorporating the IFC Policy Rights as set out in Annex H, with respect to the full number of whole shares of ADSs acquired by IFC upon the conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan and such IFC Policy Rights Agreement shall be in force until such time as IFC no longer holds any shares (or any equivalent interest in any successor company or successor Person (as applicable)).

ANNEX J

ANTI-CORRUPTION GUIDELINES FOR

IFC TRANSACTIONS

The purpose of these Guidelines is to clarify the meaning of the terms “Corrupt Practices”, “Fraudulent Practices”, “Coercive Practices”, “Collusive Practices” and “Obstructive Practices” in the context of IFC operations.

1. Corrupt Practices

A “Corrupt Practice” is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party.

INTERPRETATION

A. Corrupt practices are understood as kickbacks and bribery. The conduct in question must involve the use of improper means (such as bribery) to violate or derogate a duty owed by the recipient in order for the payor to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. Antitrust, securities and other violations of law that are not of this nature are excluded from the definition of corrupt practices.

B. It is acknowledged that foreign investment agreements, concessions and other types of contracts commonly require investors to make contributions for bona fide social development purposes or to provide funding for infrastructure unrelated to the project. Similarly, investors are often required or expected to make contributions to bona fide local charities. These practices are not viewed as Corrupt Practices for purposes of these definitions, so long as they are permitted under local law and fully disclosed in the payor’s books and records. Similarly, an investor will not be held liable for corrupt or fraudulent practices committed by entities that administer bona fide social development funds or charitable contributions.

C. In the context of conduct between private parties, the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of corporate hospitality and gifts that are customary by internationally-accepted industry standards shall not constitute corrupt practices unless the action violates applicable law.

D. Payment by private sector persons of the reasonable travel and entertainment expenses of public officials that are consistent with existing practice under relevant law and international conventions will not be viewed as Corrupt Practices.

E. The World Bank Group does not condone facilitation payments. For the purposes of implementation, the interpretation of “Corrupt Practices” relating to facilitation payments will take into account relevant law and international conventions pertaining to corruption.

2 Fraudulent Practices

A “Fraudulent Practice” is any action or omission, including misrepresentation, that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial benefit or to avoid an obligation.

INTERPRETATION

A. An action, omission, or misrepresentation will be regarded as made recklessly if it is made with reckless indifference as to whether it is true or false. Mere inaccuracy in such information, committed through simple negligence, is not enough to constitute a “Fraudulent Practice” for purposes of World Bank Group sanctions.

B. Fraudulent Practices are intended to cover actions or omissions that are directed to or against a World Bank Group entity. It also covers Fraudulent Practices directed to or against a World Bank Group member country in connection with the award or implementation of a government contract or concession in a project financed by the World Bank Group. Frauds on other third parties are not condoned but are not specifically sanctioned in IFC, MIGA, or PRG operations. Similarly, other illegal behaviour is not condoned, but will not be sanctioned as a Fraudulent Practice under the World Bank sanctions program as applicable to IFC, MIGA and PRG operations.

3. Coercive Practices

A “Coercive Practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions of a party.

INTERPRETATION

A. Coercive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.

B. Coercive Practices are threatened or actual illegal actions such as personal injury or abduction, damage to property, or injury to legally recognizable interests, in order to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. It is not intended to cover hard bargaining, the exercise of legal or contractual remedies or litigation.

4. Collusive Practices

A “Collusive Practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of another party.

INTERPRETATION

Collusive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.

5. Obstructive Practices

An “Obstructive Practice” is (i) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of evidence material to the investigation or making of false statements to investigators, in order to materially impede a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice, and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation, or (ii) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of IFC’s access to contractually required information in connection with a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice.

INTERPRETATION

Any action legally or otherwise properly taken by a party to maintain or preserve its regulatory, legal or constitutional rights such as the attorney-client privilege, regardless of whether such action had the effect of impeding an investigation, does not constitute an Obstructive Practice.

GENERAL INTERPRETATION

A person should not be liable for actions taken by unrelated third parties unless the first party participated in the prohibited act in question.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

This Solvency Certificate (the “Certificate”) of Ambow Education Holding Ltd. a company organized and existing under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “Borrower”), is delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(1) of the Loan Agreement dated as of , 2012 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) between the Borrower and IFC. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

I, [NAME], the duly elected, qualified and acting [TITLE] of the Borrower, DO HEREBY CERTIFY as follows:

1. I have carefully reviewed the Loan Agreement and the other IFC Financing Documents and such other documents as I have deemed relevant and the contents of this Certificate and, in connection herewith, have made such investigation, as I have deemed necessary therefor. I further certify that the financial information and assumptions which underlie and form the basis for the representations made in this Certificate were reasonable when made and were made in good faith and continue to be reasonable as of the date hereof.

2. I have reviewed all financial information delivered to IFC pursuant to Articles III and IV of the Loan Agreement (the “Information”). I am familiar with the financial performance and prospects of the Borrower and hereby confirm that the Information was prepared in good faith and fairly presents the Borrower’s Consolidated financial condition, based on the information available to the Borrower at the time so furnished.

3. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the fair value (as defined herein) and the present fair saleable value (as defined herein) of any and all property of the Borrower is greater than the probable liability on existing debts (as defined herein) of the Borrower as they become absolute and matured.

4. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Borrower is able to pay its debts (including, without limitation, contingent and subordinated liabilities) as they become absolute and mature (as defined herein).

5. The Borrower does not intend to, nor believes that it will, incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.

6. As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Borrower is not engaged in businesses or transactions, nor about to engage in businesses or transactions, for which any property remaining would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in which it is engaged.

115

7. The Borrower does not intend, in consummating the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future lenders or any other Person to which the Borrower is or will become, on or after the date hereof, indebted.

8. For purposes of this Certificate, “fair value” means the amount at which the aggregate assets of the Borrower would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, neither being under any compulsion to act, with equity to both. “Present fair saleable value” means the amount that may be realized if the aggregate assets of the Borrower are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s length transaction under present conditions for the sale of assets of comparable business enterprises. The term “debt” means any legal liability, including, without limitation, any contingent, subordinated, absolute, fixed, matured or unmatured, disputed or undisputed, secured or unsecured and liquidated or unliquidated liability. Being “able to pay its debts as they become absolute and mature” means that, assuming transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been consummated as proposed and based only upon the Borrower’s financial forecasts, the Borrower would have positive cash flow for the period covered by such forecasts after paying its scheduled anticipated indebtedness and current liabilities, including (and after giving effect to) the scheduled principal payments with respect to the Loans under the Loan Agreement as in effect on the date hereof.

FORM OF DISCLOSURE LETTER

This Disclosure Letter (this “Letter”) is made and given pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Loan Agreement dated as of [ ], 2012 (the “Agreement”), by and among (1) AMBOW EDUCATION HOLDING LTD., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the ‘‘Borrower”) and (2) AMBOW EDUCATION CO. LTD., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (3) AMBOW EDUCATION LTD., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (4) AMBOW EDUCATION MANAGEMENT (HONG KONG) LIMITED, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, with registration no. 1389402, (5) AMBOW EDUCATION (HONG KONG) LIMITED, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, with registration no. 1195960, (6) AMBOW EDUCATION MANAGEMENT LTD., a company organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (7) AMBOW TRAINING MANAGEMENT LIMITED, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, with registration no. 1269002, (each a “Co-Borrower” and, together, the “Co-Borrowers”) and INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION, an international organization established by Articles of Agreement among its member countries including the PRC (“IFC”).

Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. The section numbers below correspond to the section numbers in Section 3.01 of the Agreement. Disclosures made under one heading apply to and/or qualify only the correspondingly numbered representation and warranty in the Agreement except to the extent that is it reasonably apparent from the text of the disclosure that such disclosure also applied to another representation and warranty. Unless otherwise stated, all statements made herein are made as of the date of the Agreement.

(a) Organization and Authority.

Each of the Material Subsidiaries is in the process of its 2011 annual inspection.

(b) Status of Authorizations.

The Borrower previously attempted to submit an application to update Dr. Xxx Xxxxx’x equity interests registered with State Administration and Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), and was advised at that time by SAFE that Xx. Xxx is not required to comply with the SAFE regulations.

The Charters of Ambow Dalian Education Technology Co., Ltd. may need to be amended to effect the Share Transfer pursuant to Section 4.01 (n).

119

(d) Disclosure.

Although there can be no assurance that the Obligors will achieve the results set forth in the projects provided by the Obligors, all such projections provided by the Obligors were prepared in good faith based on reasonable assumptions, estimates and expectations at the time they were made.

(e) Financial Condition.

(i) Since December 31, 2011, each of the Obligors has conducted its respective business in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice.

(ii) Substantial obligations will be incurred pursuant to the Loans and the Transaction Documents.

(f) Financial Statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries for the period ending on December 31, 2011 disclose all liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries, and the reserves, if any, for such liabilities and all unrealized or anticipated liabilities and losses arising from commitments entered into by the Obligors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in each case as required to be disclosed by the Accounting Standards.

(g) Title to Assets and Liens.

Some of the real properties that the Borrower owns have defects or potential issues such as missing title certificates. As of December 31, 2011, the Borrower owns and occupies land covering an aggregate of 681,634 square meters, of which one parcel of land covering 56,667 square meters owned by (the “Shuyang School”) under Ambow Shida, accounting for 8.3% of the land the Borrower owns as of that date. The Shuyang School owns a total of 123,333 square meters over two parcels of land, of which the land use right certificate of one parcel of land covering 66,666 square meters was awarded by the local government. We are in the process of receiving the approval from the central government for the land use right certificate of the other parcel of land covering 56,667 square meters. All the buildings and school operations are concentrated on the piece of land with the land use rights certificate. The parcel with no certificate is currently idle and will not be developed until such certificate is awarded.

Some of our leased real property has certain defects or potential issues (such as missing title certificates, or in the case of leased real property, the lessor has not provided evidence of their ownership or right to lease the property).

We are not aware of any actions, claims or investigations being contemplated by the competent governmental entitles with respect to any such defects. We are in the process of obtaining the missing certificates and remedying the defects and issues relating to our real properties and, in the opinion of our management, any such defects are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our operating business or financial condition.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Obligors have not created any liens on their leased premises.

120

(h) IFC Security.

The pledge of Ambow Dalian and Ambow Shengying require PRC government approvals, which may take 30 days following signing of the Agreement.

(i) Subsidiaries.

Annex E set forth 5% or greater shareholders of the Borrower. The Borrower is a public company and many of its ADSs may be held in “street name.” To the extent ADSs are held in “street name”, it is not possible for the Borrower to identify the direct owner thereof.

(j) Compliance with Law.

Please refer to Section 3.01 (k) above.

(k) Registration Statement.

The Borrower will rely on a Registration Statement on Form F-1 under the Securities Act to register the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan for resale in the manner contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

(l) Deposit Agreement.

The Deposit Agreement allows for the deposit of unrestricted ordinary shares. In the event the Registration Statement has not been declared effective, it will be necessary to amend the Deposit Agreement to allow for the deposit of restricted ordinary shares and the issuance of restricted ADSs.

(m) Reservation of Class A Ordinary Shares and ADSs.

Cayman law does not recognize the reservation of shares. However, a sufficient number of Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs have been authorized and remain unissued for deposit into the Borrower’s ADS facility upon conversion of the Convertible Portion of the IFC C Loan.

(n) Shareholders’ Rights.

Some of the Borrower’s shareholders, including its former preferred shareholders, are parties to an amended and restated investor rights agreement that provides for customary registration rights with respect to the ordinary shares issued upon the conversion of the Borrower’s preferred shares.

The Borrower has also entered into a registration rights agreement with Campus Holdings Limited, or Campus, Dr. Xxx Xxxxx and Spin-Rich Ltd., which entitles them to certain registration rights, including demand registration rights, Form F-3 registration rights and piggyback registration.
